    Hey friends! I finally managed to do it! I've searched the old builds of Subnautica for the fabled "hell-hole" that would lead from the Aurora all the way to the lava zones and none of them had it.....until now! I've managed to get my hands on an early-access build from 2015 that contains this strange map feature! Ready to go explore it?

    if you want to give those 'big old fish out there in the water' a taste of realism, check out the 'migrate' mod. it's basically diel migration, which is when smaller creatures near the bottom of the food chain migrate up from the deep dark below to feed on the abundance of life taking advantage of the sunlight near the surface to grow. it's both funny and scary to see a reaper stick his head out of the water.

    Definitely feels like the "Canon" explanation for Reaper Skeletons existing despite the lack of the giant openings to and from the lava zone for Dragons is just... the Aurora Crashing closing that specific main entrance.
    We basically are left with auxiliary entrances.
    Almost like a monumental cave-in due to the Aurora having absolutely impeccable aim.

    This brings back a lot of old memories. I wonder if the "hell hole" was meant to be like the opening in a normal volcano, since it was said that the entire map is the top of a large volcano. It really attests to the size of the Aurora if it really did just cover the entire crater of such a large volcano.

    The hellhole may have been the devs plans for explaining how the sea dragons hunted reaper leviathans, which would make sense since one, it's under the aurora which is a new addition to the environment of 4545B so it blocked it off when it crashed, two, because it seems that the area the aurora crashed into was previously the home of the reapers, and three, there are lava textures at the lower points.

Then they go over it several more times and sculpt it down. It was the easiest way to do large terrains like that in Unity at the time besides procedural generation. In very large areas like the Lava Zone, they actually DID use procedural generation to begin with just to get many of the strange structures we see down there, but the final result is still mostly hand-crafted.

    I think in the canon the Aurora blocked off the Hell hole which also explains why the Sea Dragons are going extinct cuz they can't hunt Reapers anymore.
    small sidenote I was looking all over UA-cam for a good look at the hell hole since I couldn't play the early access for Subnautica. This video was great and I kinda even wished the Hell hole was still in the game as a small secret for those going behind the Aurora maybe?

Because I started playing like after August of 2015 and remember finding the early on lava zone after going through the ultra early on lost river that I found by chance, it was a lot brighter green and a lot more narrow back then. And some time later, I think shortly after the sea dragon was added to the experimental build, I went through the lava zone in the cyclops and went out through the hell hole. It was so creepy and confusing. Thanks for uploading this and sending me on a nostalgia trip!

    I remember when Subnautica was just getting its footing on UA-cam, and I'd watch old youtubers like ThinkNoodles and Markiplier play it for hours, exploring places that have never been seen on UA-cam, exploring the caves nobody else wanted to, making a story, recording the changes, etc. Subnautica was one of the best games, and it still holds that title today.

    Honestly the geometry of this earlier build feels like the current geometry but like 5000+ years in the past, minus the aroura it would make sense if it was 2b2t in the past as sea dragons would likely have not been dying out due to open caverns leading them to reapers (which at this development seem to be very abundant). plus the lack of architect bases would suggest they haven't arrived yet.

Just these unexplored possibilities, so many strange areas leading to unfinished things, having you look at concept art, thinking like "this will be in the game". Honestly, back then, I didn't even believe this would become a very story-heavy game eventually. I just thought it'd become some kind of huge exploration game or something. Still proud of what it's become.

To my knowledge, it was removed on July 10 2015, so try to find a version released slightly before that. It would be cool to see a more in depth exploration of this heavily modified area. Also, could you give an explanation of how you obtained this build?

    Ahhh I remember this as a kid. I installed this game 2 weeks after early access released and I used to play it religiously until the final update came out and I still binge play it from time to time.
    The sheer amount of memories that I have from messing around in early access was really amazing. Everything was so janky and I remember all the blueprints were these safe looking things and you needed to bring them to an analyzer in the escape pod to synthesize them, and all of the minerals were incredibly low texture for such a long time. I used to use the Terraformer religiously whenever I played.
    I also recall later in development that there were two entrances to the Lava biome, one being directly in front and to the side of the Aurora and the standard blood kelp entrance. And I believe this ‘hell hole’ of yours is the said Aurora entrance to the lava biome.
    I remember being able to go down there all the time in early access and I always just fooled around down there. Such fond memories from early access, I even remember when the Prawn Suit wasn’t even a thing that was too well known until you could spawn it in its really old janky form.
    I was quite disappointed that the old entrance was taken away as it was a very cool way to get in but at the same time I understand it. You could easily just go down to the lava zone and get a bunch of lore way before you should have.
    As for other things though, I do recall there also being two entrances to the Aurora itself back in early access but only in pretty late development was it covered up. The second entrance was a hole at the bottom of the reactor room that went through the whole ship and into a tunnel that lead through the ground and into a large fissure in the ground next to the Aurora. It made it really easy to get in and repair the reactor room as all you had to do was swim in with the repair tool (original name at the time was the welder) and repair all the leaks and get out.
    If I recall correctly too you could actually fit the entire Seamoth through the tunnel and all the way into the reactor room as well. There’s so many other things I could talk about from my early access experience but this comment has already drawn on far longer then needed…

    I fondly remember watching videos on a lot of the beginning builds of the game before it got more of the larger scale changes, one of them was an AwesomeCrunch video where he explores the ILZ and discusses what the devs plan to do with the area and it was pitch black with no light source to show the geometry of the lava zone, AC then discussed and spawned in the earlier version of the sea dragon where it’s model was static and about 5x smaller than its later size (those of you who remember the smaller sea dragon / sea emperor models get a cookie). The thing that this video made me remember it of was when he was talking about the ALZ and went to see where it would be when implemented, it was just a very large black box under the ILZ; interesting to see where the devs set up in advance what would be the original size of areas of the map.

I was about 11 at the time and had little experience with the game so I thought I had found it, but I didn't understand why there was nothing there. I just remember the endless barren land with little lava flecks, and it just kept going deeper. I swear I was at about 3,000m when I gave up, and for the longest time I was like "the Subnautica map is at least 3K meters deep, pretty wild right". I only found out I was wrong when it was fully released and I completed the story, realizing it never went that deep.
